CTD on loading issue

**QuintusSertorius** · 06-26-2008, 16:43

It's gone into the irrevocable CTD that killed my last game again. This time it's Pella that's the problem, just had a crash on my spy trying to look into the settlement.

Restart...right now I'm running a full virus-scan before I reinstall the game; all those long periods of time with it disabled might have allowed something to take hold (I disconnect the internet while I'm playing too, so it's not exposed at the time).

It's certainly not the internet, Quintus. I'm playing on a machine that isn't even connected (ever).

Could you upload a save?

I meant that disabling your virus protection while connected to the internet is a bad idea; thus when I was playing with it off, I pulled the cable out.

Bit late now, I've uninstalled and deleted everything.

Quintus, could you for testing's sake try to not use client rulers or recruited generals at all? You seem to be a magnet for these kind of problems and I suspect it's due to your extensive use of non-family generals. Sorry to cramp your style, of course. But if it eliminates the problem, at least we'd know that it is this causing it.

Well in my new game I've cut out the client ruler script, and have only used a few non-FM generals (none of whom I've adopted - in fact I've never seen the option to adopt them), and I've had no problems at all.

I've got to wonder, do most people not use client rulers or recruitable generals?

I use both, but sparingly. Say, in far off places like what are known today as Crete or Cyprus (raiding bases for an advanced Romani campaign), for example. I have not had the issues you have had (I have read all your AAR stuff over at tw-center).

I did have a similar, repeatable CTD with an older Romani FM in a southern Gallic city I owned (Tolouse? am on the work comp, and I forget). I crossed my fingers & waited for him to die. it worked, no more CTD. as such, I really don't know what the issue was, but it undoubtedly had someting to do with the FM..... was same as you though, a CTD every time you looked in the city, put a spy there, whatever.

(I don't do FD or any of the other stuff you do.
